>"As someone in the same position that has debated this endlessly in their own head -- its not going to be really 'worth' it. VZW has the best network around, being grandfathered in on unlimited data is a serious boon."

I felt the same way until I used a T-Mobile Nexus 4 side-by-side with my Verizon GN for a while. At least where I live and work I get consistently better speeds with the Nexus 4.

I can't say for certain, but it feels like Verizon service has gotten dramatically worse over the last year or two. It's not the phone as I have access to dozens across multiple carriers.

I've been telling myself that unlimited data will be valuable going forward for years now, but looking back I rarely crack 2-3GB in a month.

I expect that I've only gotten real value out of the unlimited plan and Verizon coverage while traveling.

For now, I plan to switch.
